Directing/Producing

Before deciding against law school and moving to NYC where I earned an MA in Film Studies from the CUNY Graduate Center and an MFA in Filmmaking (also from the CUNY system) I juggled paralegal work with running a non-profit (La Vache Enragée Productions) in San Francisco. With LVE I produced theatre and an annual festival of short plays and silent short films accompanied by live music. I hold a B.A. in Theatre from UCLA and have done post graduate work at Central School of Speech and Drama in London and studied at Circle in the Square in New York – and am done with school for the moment.

As a director coming from an acting background I value performance and story above all else but have over the past few years gained an appreciation for the technical elements that make storytelling special in cinema. I am especially intrigued by the juxtaposition of sound with images – and hope to further explore the use of sound in future films.
